iPhone 15 Pro Max: No 2TB Option and a $100 Price Hike - What to Expect

Apple disappoints as the iPhone 15 Pro Max maxes out at 1TB, dispelling hopes of a 2TB option. Pricing is up $100, RAM upgrades remain uncertain.

Breaking news for those considering a second home mortgage to purchase the highly anticipated iPhone 15 Pro Max with a colossal 2TB storage capacity - it seems you'll have to wait a bit longer. Contrary to persistent rumors, Apple is once again sticking with a maximum storage option of 1TB for their latest flagship smartphone.

Rumors of a 2TB iPhone Pro have been circulating for years but have yet to materialize. Similar to last year's model, achieving 2TB of storage will still require buying two separate 1TB iPhones, effectively doubling the price but potentially extending battery life.

A recent TrendForce report dashed hopes of a storage upgrade, suggesting that the iPhone 15 Pro lineup will maintain the same storage tiers as the iPhone 14 Pro, offering options of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

Interestingly, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to debut at a price point $100 higher than its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Details regarding the amount of RAM in the new iPhone 15 Pro models remain elusive. The iPhone 14 Pro featured a consistent 6GB of RAM across the board. However, the TrendForce report claimed that both the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max would feature an upgraded 8GB of RAM. MacRumors, on the other hand, suggests that Apple might link RAM configurations to storage space, a strategy employed previously with the iPad Pro.

The curtain will be lifted on this storage mystery in a matter of hours as Apple is set to officially unveil the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. However, the RAM specification may take longer to resolve, as Apple traditionally refrains from disclosing iPhone RAM details.
